Of course their idea of freshening up the stage setup is more loving giant screens.

He technically was in the match. Sami(iirc) was (kayfave) found beaten to hell backstage and couldn't compete in the match, so HHH said someone would replace him. They never announced who and the match just started with the pre announced 7 who were in the match until Lesnar came out. It's dumb but they did at least set up Brock as being "in the match"

MITB '19 is, IMO, the worst distraction finish ever. EVER. Ali's up on the ladder, all alone, hands on the briefcase, Brock's music hits, and he....stops. Nothing more to explain about it. That's what happened. That's what they booked. Brock's "LOL now I'll show up" thing was weak, but that was the worst part about it by a mile.

re: SmackDown set

The top giant screens are just the regular scoreboard in that arena. NBA arena screens are huge now.

These MITB matches with so many people are just horrible. Very little story telling. They just take turns doing big moves, roll out of the ring, let someone else have a turn. The finish always seems to happen out of nowhere as well, like it just happened to be the point where everyone was on the ground. Very little tension

yeah having a ladder, or worse, a bunch of ladders all over are the main reasons why wrestlers have to take turns laying around and doing 1 on 1 spots, for safety. they ought to get a brain!

The best multi-man ladder match will always be the NXT NA title match at Takeover New Orleans

I love multi-man ladder matches when they're good, but that's the peak of the match type imo

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

It’s also very funny that 4/6 competitors in that match are now fired.

If only Kaz had some sort of veteran friend who had history with TNA and a reason to hate the Elite. Can't think of anyone who fits that description though.

I got some Impact Wrestling spoilers for ya

Bey d. Rohit
Decay d. Fire & Flava to retain the tag titles
FinJuice d. Ace/Madman - Shera/Rohit beat up afterwards

Jay White promo with Kenny, GB, Don, Bey setting up main event
Gail/Mickie/Deonna promo - she joins Mickie's show

Cardona/Jake Something/Chelsea d. Beale/Myers/Dashwood when Taylor Wilde interfered
Maclin v. Trey double countout - Petey saves Trey from murder afterward
Swann/Mack d. Rhyno/Deaner
Grace/Ellering d. Fire & Flava - Savannah Evans debuts as Steele's new partner and destroys Hogan

Good Brothers d. BeyBlade, Magic Killer on Bey

--taping break--

FinJuice/Bah/Jose d. Ace/Madman/Shera/Rohit
Omega/Good Brothers and Sami/Frankie promo. Battle royal for Impact title shot at Emergence later
Josh Alexander d. Black Taurus, X Title match. 5 stars, not kidding

I think this is an intergender tag tournament for new titles!

Purrazzo/Drama King(!!!!) d. Hernandez/Alicia Edwards - the former Aiden English is introduced with a really killer entrance/promo. Painting his masterpiece with the Virtuosa, etc. Missed his new name, it was something like Steve Vansway or something a little weird.

Cardona/Green d. Big Mama Pump/Lil Petey Pump - Maclin destroys Petey postmatch.
Decay (Rosemary/Steve) d. Fallah Flava (Bah/Tasha)
Dreamer/Ellering d. Myers/Missy Hyatt. Yeah. That Missy Hyatt.

There was no mention to us of the brackets or anything. The ring announcer said "First Round Match" and there were many belt motions made by everyone.

Su Yung and Kimber Lee kidnapped Kiara Hogan while she was trying to call out Tasha Steele for breaking up their tag team

Sami/Frankie/Eddie d. Good Brothers + Omega. Kenny not pinned, obviously. W Morrissey attacks afterward which leads to a Parking Lot Brawl where we all gathered around. Not much happened in it, Eddie chased him off with kendo sticks.

Also, the intergender thing is for the Impact+ special airing fairly soon, Homecoming.

Well, there is a semi-retired wrestler who's HOT, who's SPICY, and who TASTES GOOD, though I hear he feels like his gimmick doesn't fit in modern times. Maybe with some tweaks though...
